FCM Zonal Demand Curves

Proposed Effective Date: FCA 11

• ISO is proposing new zonal demand curves for the FCA – Improve locational price signals in the FCM – Better reflect incremental reliability impact of capacity than existing

(fixed) zonal requirements – Derived using a methodology that satisfies three core design principles – Robust to zonal configuration changes – Comply with FERC Order requiring zonal curves for FCA 11

• This meeting: – Discuss stakeholder and filing schedule in light of Dec. 28 FERC Order – Explain zonal transfer capability treatment in ISO’s proposed Zonal

Source Demand Curves – Reliability impacts of ISO’s proposed demand curves

APPROACH OVERVIEW Reliability foundation for deriving demand curves

ISO-NE PUBLIC

11

What Principles Should the FCM’s Sloped Demand Curves Aim to Satisfy?

1. Reliability. Meet the ISO’s reliability planning obligations

– System LOLE of 0.1 or less, on average (over the long-term) – An objective in previous design efforts

2. Sustainability. Over the long-term, the FCA’s average clearing price should be sufficient to attract entry when needed – Competitive new suppliers recover their fixed entry costs (Net CONE) – Both in the system and import-constrained zones – An objective in previous design efforts

3. Cost-Effectiveness. Procure capacity in zones cost-effectively

– Zonal curves should allocate capacity purchases among zones, given bid prices, to meet the system’s reliability requirements at least-cost

– Ensuring this objective is satisfied is more complex with zonal demand curves than in the system demand curve design

ISO-NE PUBLIC

12

Capacity Market’s Reliability Foundation

• To satisfy these principles, demand curves seek to balance capacity and reliability

• Capacity helps avoid ‘lost load’

• The sloped demand curves should be based, in part, on the marginal reliability impact of procuring additional capacity – Prices should be commensurate to the reliability benefit of

incremental capacity

ISO-NE PUBLIC

13

Resource Adequacy Indices

• Indices express the expected frequency, expected duration and/or expected magnitude of possible capacity deficiency (loss of load)

• LOLE (Loss of Load Expectation) – Expected number of days per year of loss of load [days/yr] – Commonly used metric of 1 day in 10 years

• LOLH (Loss of Load Hours) – Expected number of hours per year of loss of load [hrs/yr]

• EENS (Expected Energy Not Served) – Expected amount of unserved load [MWh/yr] – Also known as EUE (Expected Unserved Energy) or LOEE (Loss of

Energy Expectation)

14

Marginal Reliability Impact of Capacity

• ISO’s planning models can calculate expected energy not served (EENS) as a measure of the expected ‘lost load’ – Calculated on a MWh per year basis – EENS depends on capacity in system overall, and in each capacity zone

• Marginal reliability impact (MRI) is the decrease in EENS (expected ‘lost load’) with another 1 MW of capacity – Differs for system and each zone

• Methodology calculates the MRI at the system and zonal level for range of capacity values – May be greater in import-constrained zones where capacity can serve

system or zone

• MRI (after sign change) declines smoothly with capacity, as shown to the right

• ISO’s planning models can calculate this function

ISO-NE PUBLIC

15

Demand Curves Based on the Marginal Reliability Impact are (Slightly) Convex

• When the system is short, deficiencies can occur more frequently, so an additional MW of capacity significantly reduces EENS because – At low MW quantities, MRI value is high – As capacity is added, the MRI decreases quickly meaning the slope is

relatively steep

• When the system is long, deficiencies are infrequent, so an additional MW of capacity has a small impact on EENS because – At high MW quantities, MRI value is low and relatively flat

• Consistent with these properties, demand curves will be based on the MRI function are downward sloping and convex

ISO-NE PUBLIC

• The methodology captures the difference in relative impact of additional capacity in different zones – Especially when the transfer

levels are close to or at the transfer capabilities

Local Sourcing Demand Curve Approach

• ISO’s modeling assumption builds on the current methodology used to generate the Local Sourcing Requirement based on both the TSA and LRA values – “For each import-constrained Capacity Zone, the Local Sourcing Requirement shall be

the amount needed to satisfy the higher of: (i) the Local Resource Adequacy Requirement as determined pursuant to Section III.12.2.1.1; or (ii) the Transmission Security Analysis Requirement as determined pursuant to Section III.12.2.1.2.”

• MRI calculations will use a capacity transfer capability of:

(N-1 limit) – max(TSA-LRA,0)

– Starts with N-1 limit, but includes adjustment based on the positive difference difference between TSA and LRA

ISO-NE PUBLIC

19

Example: SENE Capacity Transfer Capability

FCA 10 Input Parameters:

• N-1-1 Import Limit = 4,600 MW

• N-1 Import Limit = 5,700 MW

• Local Resource Adequacy (LRA) = 9,584 MW

• Transmission Security Adequacy (TSA) = 10,028 MW

Revised capacity transfer capability assumption for SENE zonal MRI calculations is:

5,700 MW – max(10,028 TSA - 9,584 LRA, 0) = 5,256 MW

DERIVING CURVES FOR EXPORT-CONSTRAINED ZONES Same methodology as that used in import-constrained zones produces congestion-based demand curves in export-constrained zones

25

ISO-NE PUBLIC

Export-Constrained Zones Derived Using Same Methodology As Import-Constrained Zones

• Curves in all constrained zones are based on the marginal reliability impact of shifting a MW of capacity from the rest-of-system zone into the zone

• Shift of capacity into import-constrained zones improves system reliability (reduces EENS) – Resulting curve in import-constrained zone therefore pays a positive

congestion price to capacity in the zone

• Shift of capacity into export-constrained zone decreases system reliability (increases EENS) – Resulting curve in export-constrained zones must therefore pay a

negative congestion price to capacity in the zone

26

ISO-NE PUBLIC

Export-Constrained MRI Curve is Downward Sloping and Negative

• MRI function is zero for low MW quantities as capacity in export-constrained zone provides equal reliability value to that in rest-of-system

• At higher MW quantities, MRI function slopes downward because marginal reliability impact of capacity in the zone decreases

Probabilistic Reliability Calculations under Proposed Demand Curve

• Calculations for system-wide ICR, MCL for export-constrained zones, and LRA for import-constrained capacity zones remain unchanged – Same simulation model (GE MARS) – Same calculation methodology – Same stakeholder review process for input assumptions

• Deriving Demand Curves requires a series of MARS simulations to calculate the system-wide expected energy not served (EENS) – System curve based on the same ICR case – Zonal curve based on the same LRA/MCL case

• With adjusted N-1 limit for import-constrained zones
